today is JAN 1. 2013 and he is born on '31. DEC'

30 DEC 2012 = 9years (day before yesterday)
31 DEC 2012 = 10years
31 DEC 2013 = 11years
'next year' 31 DEC 2014 'he will have 12years'

LOL brilliant.

Here's another one:
A bus full of people is traveling over a bridge on its way to Las vegas. No one gets on or off, but when the bus reaches the other side, there's not a single person on the bus. How can this be possible?

They are all couples. There wasn't a SINGLE person on the bus to begin with.

Here's a classic one...

A judge tells a condemned prisoner that he will be hanged at noon on one weekday in the following week but that the execution will be a surprise to the prisoner. He will not know the day of the hanging until the executioner knocks on his cell door at noon that day.

Having reflected on his sentence, the prisoner draws the conclusion that he will not be hanged. Why?

No cheating with google.

if he knocks @ noon, he's already late for the execution

No, because he can just as easily knock before noon

well, it did'nt say on or before noon' you specifically stated

"He will not know the day of the hanging until the executioner knocks on his cell door at noon that day."

hence my answer...........

well it would not be Friday or he would know and it would not be a surprise. Probably reasons for the other days

Hmm, let's see..
If the prisoner expects to be hanged tomorrow, regardless what day it is, then the hanging wouldn't be a surprise to him. But imho that's irrelevant, just because the hanging per se will take place even if the prisoner isn't surprised.
Surprise, surprise. The prisoner is an idiot.

I'm with you on this one. After hearing that its wrong.. I cheated and googled the answer, which is retarded. You can't be hanged at noon if you are being notified that you are being hanged at the exact same time.

I really like this puzzle. Thanks for sharing

At first I was - damn I am super smart, answer was obvious within first 5 seconds. Then - I saw first post and already correct answer. Well at least I thought I was super smart for a few seconds.

Good try, but can't be. "Not a single person on the bus" is not the same as "there are no single persons on the bus".

I think we're all bozos on this bus...

Some people are riding in a car. They consist of a mother, father, brother, sister, son, daughter, niece, nephew, aunt, uncle, and two cousins. What is the minimum number of people that can be in the car?
